Profile:

A tall and lanky right arm fast bowler, Michael Kasprowicz has proven a wholehearted and reliable wicket taker at first-class level ever since the time of his debut for Queensland during the 1989-90 season. He endured regular battles with injury during the early part of his career but overcame those setbacks to develop into one of his country's most highly respected contemporary pacemen. Kasprowicz went through his first two Tests wicketless; has generally only been used sparingly at international level; and has been forced to watch on as many less experienced players have won national honours ahead of him. But it hasn't stopped him from continuing to produce consistently impressive performances for the Bulls in both forms of the game nor from remaining on the verge of recalls to the international arena. Possessing a bustling run-up and an open-chested mode of delivery, his action and pace are both lively and he exhibits a capacity to produce hostile spells over sustained periods. Kasprowicz's stock ball is a leg cutter delivered just short of a length but he moves the ball both ways and generates a deceptively quick faster ball at times. To this stage of his career, his highest moment came in the Sixth Test of the 1997 Ashes series when he routed England to claim seven wickets in an innings at The Oval. Kasprowicz will also always be remembered for his lionhearted efforts on the otherwise ill-fated Australian tour to India of 1998, when he overcame debilitating heat and the onset of a succession of injuries to his fellow bowlers to lead his country's attack with aplomb. Complementing Kasprowicz's talents with the ball are his qualities as a handy late order batsman and a safe fieldsman with a strong throwing arm. At schoolboy level, he was also an outstanding rugby union player. (John Polack, August 2001)
